Primary open angle glaucoma (POAG) and normal tension glaucoma (NTG) demonstrate the same structural changes in the optic disc along with visual field defects but only POAG includes an abnormal elevation of intraocular pressure. Heidelberg retina tomograph based on confocal scanning laser ophthalmoscopy (HRT) and Moorfields regression analysis (MRA) have been employed to quantitatively assess the topography of eye papilla. We measured stereographic parameters of eye papilla in patients with POAG, NTG, and ocular hypertension (OH) using an HRT in order to determine whether HRT topographic parameters can be used to differentiate those conditions.
